I Don’t Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Ah me… 2018
Inspired by writer and activist Maya Angelou’s groundbreaking 1969 autobiography “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. The title is an acknowledgement by the artist that he does not know the black female experience, but as an immigrant, gay man and new father, he found a personal connection to her book.

Peaceful Perch, 2018
“Peaceful Perch”, embodies the ubiquitous presence of race and the female form celebrating women of color, their unique features and hair: reflected within the neighborhood of Harlem. A figurative bust-like sculpture: resonating as female sits elevated as an honored monument of watchfulness.
HOT OFF THE PRINTING PRESS!
